When Cass was a sophomore Planned to go to Swarthmore. Mike Dukakis did go to Swarthmore. I wonder if he was there cheering for the Garnet? Their mascot is Phineas the Phoenix. As neutered as the new Holy Cross shield is, it's more attractive than the Phoenix logo of Swarthmore. After a lifetime of hearing about the Fighting Irish, I finally heard about the Fighting Scots of Goddard due to this thread and now the Garnet. Thanks '70 for starting this thread. Sad to see that Amherst caved in and now calls their teams the Mammoths. Surprised the students and their Umass brethren haven't called for the name of the College/name of the town to be changed too. So the NASCAC has the Mammoths and the Jumbos, where Jumbo was a pachyderm as well. Considering Jumbo was no doubt abused by PT Barnum I'm surprised he's not been disappeared as well. |
